1A–40 HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
Checking The Refrigerant System With
Manifold Gauge
Since Refrigerant-134a (HFC-134a) is used in the air
conditioning system in this vehicle, be sure to use
manifold gauges, charging hoses and other air
conditioning service tools for HFC-134a when
checking the refrigerant system.
Conditions:
D Run the engine at idling
D Air conditioning switch is "ON"
D Run the blower motor at "HIGH" position
D Temperature control lever set to "MAX COLD"
D Air source selector lever at "CIRC"
D Open the engine hood
D Close all the doors
Normal Pressure:
D At
ambient temperature:
(77–86°F).
D At low-pressure side: approx. 147.1–294.2 kPa
(21.3–42.7 psi).
D At high-pressure side: approx. 1372.9–1863.3 kPa
(199.1–270.2 psi).
Refer to the table on the refrigerant pressure-temperature
relationship in this section.
